6 years old

Lillee,
I cannot believe you are six years old! You are growing up before our eyes! There are lots of firsts you have been doing this year. You just learned how to ride your bike without training wheels, hoola hoop, read, read, read, work the TV remote (hurray hurray - what a treat for mommy), get your bath/shower, get dressed all by yourself, do hair and teeth. I am so proud of you.
Your hair is getting so long. We are having fewer disagreements in the mornings about your outfits/hair.
Favorite color: pink/yellow
Food: strawberries, cheese, cinammon toast crunch cereal
Movie: Max and Ruby and Parent Trap
Song: Taylor Swift and the Hannah? Miley Cirus song
You prefer going to gymnastics right now and you try to twist my arm for you not to have to go to dance.
We got you the much wanted DS and nana and papa got you a game to go with it. Baxter picked you out some nail polishes, a hair brush and gum. You opened the bag and started crying because the DS was not in there. We are working on gratefulness...
We celebrated your actual birthday this weekend by getting together with some fun friends for mexican and bowling.
Tinkerbell with twinkling wings from Bo. Katelin enjoyed showing this to you in the parking lot of the bowling alley. Wow - I could do an entire blog on the clientale in there.
A very happy baby attended while Ben stayed home with Mary.
This was Baxter's ball which got stuck in the middle of the lane. As if the one game you guys played wasn't slow enough, this happened. Daddy was a trooper.
Now, on to the big party this Friday night. I made invitations for you and Elizabeth. It was quite fun because you helped me make lists for the party. You are carrying on a tradition I've always had by celebrating your birthday for at least a week! Way to go girl!
